Laserlab Europe is a consortium created in 2004 with the goal of making Europe the leading continent in research with lasers. Currently consists of 28 laboratories of excellence located in 16 countries of the European Union.

 Here we show the links to the official webpages of the conferences related to the Conservation of Heritage Materials in which some members of CSD-TCP will take part along 2013 and 2014

The Joint Programming Initiative on Cultural Heritage (JPICH) has finally taken shape, in the form of a 3-year program called the Joint Heritage European Programme (JHEP), which will coordinate the calls for research proposals.

ABSOLUTE DATING TECHNIQUES: APPLICATION ON CULTURAL HERITAGE
